The real esate commission is putting pressure on brokers to not participate in double closes without full disclosure of the source of funding.We're down to just two title companies that will handle a double close.

Some people argue that we're too strict in how we police the site, I think it ensures the quality of the site.I owe it to all of our members who participate . . . this truly is a wonderful community!

That said, there are some lenders that will shy away from providing funds to a buyer who is participating in a double or simultaneous closing (they are concerned about both fraud and chain-of-title issues), so you could run into that as well.My best suggestion is to find lenders who will support your purchase and sale strategy and "encourage" your buyers to use your preferred lenders to finance their deals.

You will lose your ability to participate in the Section 8 program and you will likely be liable for civil damages, at least for the excess rent you've collected, interest, and court costs.

I think what you are referring to is some BS legislation that was signed into affect that is "voluntary" for lending institutions to participate in.

I read a stat that indicated that they have participated in over 70% of all (recent) principal reduction loan modifications.

But tenants aren't burdoned with the need for that social nicety.Still, I don't want to participate in the holiday gift-giving mania.

You're welcome to be here and participate just like everyone else.

With a good chunk of our visitors being from Texas, I'd say you're in a good position to build your brand here on the site.Jump in, help out, participate, and I'm sure you'll see the benefits.You can also read the following post to get more info about promoting yourself here:How to Promote Yourself with BiggerPockets

I hope you'll become an active participant in the community.Best, Josh
